About this listen

The streets of East London teem with different languages, cultures and religions. Private investigators Lee Arnold and Mumtaz Hakim are well-versed in the community's tensions, the sad day-to-day reality that includes the desecration of graves at Plashet Jewish cemetery in East Ham. However, the destruction of these final resting places leads to a disturbing discovery—one of the damaged coffins does not contain human remains, but instead a sculpture of a man made of clay. This so-called 'golem', a term from Jewish myth given to a figure brought to life by supernatural means, proves intriguing to Arnold and Hakim, even more so when it is stolen in an armed raid from a police storage facility, leaving a man dead in its wake. The case leads the pair into the past in London and Prague, and onto the trail of a jewel worth killing for.

I always eagerly look forward to the latest Hakim and Arnold story. This latest one follows the on- off relationship between the two detectives plus a gripping tale about Jewish Mysticism. It was really interesting to learn about golems. Barbara Nadel’s Turkish Detective is now a TV star, although the adaptation was a disappointment where Suleman is rather wet. I think this series would be ideal tv material provided Barbara keeps a tight hand on the casting and adaptation and the characters are left just as I imagine them to be. The narrator Paul Thornley is as brilliant as ever and bring to life the story. How long to the next one …….?
